Do you think it was time to change my iGoogle background?
The snowy winter village has been the theme on my iGoogle page since before Christmas and for whatever reason it remained my theme until today. June 25. Summer.
My theme now?
How pretty is that!?
The picture reminded me of images from some of The One and Only resorts.
When Ryan and I were brainstorming honeymoon ideas one night a few years ago, we got a little sidetracked and started looking at ridiculously expensive and luxurious resorts. (We do this when we’re trying to find places to rent, too. $25,000 a month houses? Riiight.)
We stumbled upon The One and Only’s website and were blown away. We spent far too long looking at the website even when we realized the resorts were waaay out of our budget.
If you’re in the mood to daydream about amazing vacations, I highly recommend spending some time on their website.
Just check out these images…
Okay, time to get my head out of the clouds… Clearly a vacation is sounding miiighty fine right now!
Lunch
I didn’t feel like putting a ton of thought into today’s lunch, so I grabbed a bunch of veggies, some chicken sausage, an egg, shredded cheese and turkey bacon out of the fridge and made a scramble.
Easy and delicious! My two main requirements!
Question of the Afternoon
Let’s all do a little daydreaming…
- If you could go anywhere on vacation tomorrow, where would you want to go and who would you bring with you?
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
Anywhere that isn’t raining and isn’t hot…and with my manfriend 😉
It’s a tie between Nashville or Santorini Greece. Both of which would be with my husband.
Those resorts look INCREDIBLE! My husband and I have been dreaming on a three week trip to Africa where we climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, go on Safari, and then unwind on the beaches of Zanzibar for a week. Hopefully, after we pay off his student loans this winter, we’ll be ready to book!!
take me with you!!!
Aruba with my husband sounds pretty fantastic right now! 🙂
I would go to Bora Bora and stay in a hut over the water with my Love.
I would go to Greece and Italy with my husband!
I’d love to go on a cruise around the Greek Isles with my boyfriend! Sigh…if only!
Those pictures look amazing! Am I a baby because I would be scared to get into the ocean, though? It makes me nervous!
I would LOVE to go on a romantic vacation to Italy with my boyfriend… I’ll keep dreaming 😉 ha
Definitely Tanzania to climb Kilimanjaro– I’m chomping at the bit to get there!
Italy or some sort of tropical island sound pretty good right about now.
I can’t bring myself to click on the link in fear that the rest of my afternoon will be spent daydreaming! A vacation sounds mighty fine to me right now, too 🙂
probably a wise decision. 🙂
Santorini, Greece with my boyfriend! I’ve wanted to go there ever since I backpacked through Europe during college. Hopefully one day I’ll actually make it there!
greece is one of my dream vacation destinations, too.
Great pick! I’ve been to TZ twice and looooove it! My husband and I tried to climb Kili for our honeymoon. Altitude sickness and a rescue off the mountain doesn’t make for the most romantic trip! But I’m with you – chomping at the bit to give it another shot!
i’d love to go back to cancun with my hubby, which is where we went for our honeymoon. it truly is paradise there! i’ve been craving the beach like crazy lately.
I’d love to visit Tahiti!! And I’m like, Brittany ^, I can’t click on the link or I’d never be able to function here at work for the rest of the day! 🙂
I’d love to go to California. It’s my favorite vacation spot!
I would love to go to somewhere tropical, Bora Bora or Hawaii perhaps? I just want to relax on the beach with my fiance with a book in one hand and a drink in the other. 🙂 Soon enough! 7 weeks till honeymoon!
so soooooon! congrats again!
🙂 I loveee being on vacations and the most amazing place I have been to was a spa near the Swiss Alps and it was like $18 for the entire day. So you don’t have to pay crazy fees to have an amazing time!
My boyfriend and I were just talking about this the other night! I’d definitely go to Hawaii, hands down. He’d like to be in Ireland!
Hmmm…there are lots of places I’d like to go right now, but I’d probably say Hawaii!
My husband and I would do a three-week tour of New Zealand, checking out all the locations from Lord of the Rings and wine tasting.
I’d love to go to London. I want to live out of the country when I graduate and I feel London would be such a cool city to live in. I’d want to go with my mom. 🙂
I would love to go back to Humboldt Co, CA – and visit the Redwoods again & Shelter Cove!
My favorite place on earth is the “Avenue of the Giants” up there & would love to live there one day if I could!
And of course, I would bring my boyfriend Cody 🙂
I would go to Puerto Rico in a heartbeat. I just want water, sun and the option to go to the train forest!
And I’d bring anyone who would want to do everything I wanted to do! haha
I’d go on a Mediterranean cruise with my boyfriend. I’ve been on one cruise and was instantly hooked! I haven’t been to Europe in ten years, so it’d be the best of both worlds. 🙂
I would love to go to St. Lucia or Tahiti.
Ahh those look divine!! I think if I could go anywhere right now, it’d be Hawaii. However, I’ve ALWAYS wanted to go to the Miraval Spa in Arizona, and I’d take off there in a heartbeat!
I’d be on a jet to the Domenican Republic before you could say “Mango!” I’d make the trip with the husband. He spent 2 years in the DR and so he speaks Spanish and knows the country really well. He’d be my own private tour guide who has to be nice to me. 🙂
Europe! Anywhere in Europe. With my husband for fun, and my family for planning 🙂
If money were no issue I would pack up and trek to Hawaii in a minute! I’ve always wanted to go there…my husband and I are hoping to go there for our 1 year anniversary!
i would love to go straight to Italy or anywhere in the carribean.
ohh that would be amazing.. but i right not i would take any vacation to anywhere 🙂
yay.. a week and 1/2 till a tiny vacation to ohio. i cant wait.
I would go to the Maldives and I would take my husband, Tom. Someplace I have never been before, some place beautiful and tropical sounds good right about now for a few weeks. Ahhhhh. ^_^
bora bora! i’d take my hubby and my dog (i hate leaving the little guy and i think he’d have fun ;p)
or
santorini.
Hahaha I’m not even engaged (or close), but I already know I would want to go to the Maldives for my honeymoon! That is, if it’s anywhere close to our budget!! If I could go anywhere on vacation now, I’d like to go anywhere with my girlfriends. We have never been on vacation before, but have been trying to get a group together for ages! Why is it so hard?! Urgh.
I would love to go to Sweden or Norway….by myself. And if I happen to meet some yummy blond Scandinavian man, well, I wouldn’t mind at all!:) I have been wanting to go there for years, because it just seems so beautiful from everything I’ve seen on travel shows and pictures. I love to watch New Scandinavian Cooking on PBS (with Andreas Viestad) just to watch the scenery and listen to him talk haha.
Any location with a white-sand beach and crystal clear, blue waters…so maybe Fuji?
After watching RHOC a couple weeks ago, I would 100% go to Bora Bora and take my hubby and two kiddos with me! Wow, I had better plan on spending a cool $20K or more. Sadly, I think this is a trip that will NEVER happen!!
Another more realistic place I would love to visit in Punta Cana. Such pretty beaches and water.
My husband & I were in Anguilla last month for our one year anniv. I definitely want to go back there someday. You can’t go wrong with that beautiful blue water and sandy beaches. I’d also like to go to Hawaii or do a mediterranean cruise someday!
3 months from today i will be on my honeymoon and leaving Dubai and heading to the Maldives… that is my dream vacation and I can’t wait!!!!
I know people that have stayed at the one and only in Cabo and they said it was absolutly amazing. There is one in Maldives but it was really pricy so we are staying at the Four Seasons instead to save money.
that does look delicious! oh gosh, I don’t know, there are so many places I want to go! I guess if I had to pick somewhere to go tomorrow, I’d go on a trip around Alaska with my friend, Maddie. I’ve always wanted to see the northern lights, as well as get to experience such a cool state!
I’m heading off on vacation in six days to do one of my dream trips: hiking to Machu Picchu! A good friend and I are spending two weeks in Peru, 6 days of which will be part of a trek to Machu Picchu (including camping!) and then we’re going to play it by ear for the rest of the time. Probably Lake Titicaca (just because saying the name makes me smile) and exploring Cuzco.
I much prefer active vacations than sitting on my butt on a beach – the latter is way too boring for me!
Oh my goodness..good thing Chris and I didn’t find that website when we were trying to find honeymoon spots haha. I would LOVE to go to the Greek Islands 🙂
Back to the Amalfi Coast! It was absolutely incredible. ANd I would take my Mom with me 🙂
I live in Playa del Carmen, Mexico now during the hot and raining season. I’ve been day dreaming about cooler weather for 2 months now… I would love to be in Sweden with my family. Swedish meatballs and Swedish pancakes… yum!
I stayed at the One & Only Cape Town for work a few years ago, and it was definitely fancy! Worth a couple grand a night, though? Hmm…
I would go to Paris with my best friends. I’ve wanted to see Europe ever since I was a little kid! Those pictures are making me just a teensy bit depressed on this dreary Monday, I wish I was on a tropical vacation!
I want to go to Bora Bora and stay in one of those isolated huts on the water with my boyfriend so that we can just jump out our window for a swim anytime! – what an amazing memory that would be 🙂
lunch looks delicious! yum! and oh my gosh i’ve had an obsession with One and Only resorts for a couple years now — DREAM VACAY!
I want to go to Bora Bora in those private huts with my husband.
I just got back from Spain, but I’d be up for another vaca 🙂 I’d go to Greece with my boyfriend. He’s never been out of the country yet, and i think we would both love Greece!
